My Story…
Hi family and friends,
I am tandem biking this year counting on your support in raising funds through EyeRide to help BALANCE for Blind and TRAILBLAZERS tandem cycling. Despite the economic climate we are in, I am kindly requesting your contribution. May I count on your generous support? Rest assured you will receive the tax refund for your well deserve contributions. Also, you are more than welcome to join the team or consider joining the highly organized caring team in the coming year. This is one way to keep ourselves ‘fit’ while having fun and make a difference in our community.
Thank you so much.

Why I’m Participating in EyeRide 2025
On June 21, 2025, our riders will be participating in EyeRide 2025, an event that’s so much more than just kilometres on a bike. It’s about strengthening community, building resilience, and making a real difference for the blind and low-vision community.
Our riders will be cycling 65 km from Toronto to Alliston or 130 km from Toronto to Collingwood alongside both sighted and visually impaired athletes and avid riders. Together, they’ll push past limits, share stories, and support two small yet mighty organizations, both of which are registered charities.
1) BALANCE for Blind Adults provides essential services to help individuals living with vision loss lead independent and fulfilling lives. From rehabilitation and employment support to counseling and mental health programs, BALANCE empowers their clients to navigate life with confidence. This year’s raised funds will assist mental health and well-being programs, led by professionals with lived experience of blindness.
2) TRAILBLAZERS Tandem Cycling Club enables blind and partially sighted cyclists the freedom to ride with sighted volunteers on tandem bikes. This year’s raised funds will assist rejuvenating TRAILBLAZERS’ fleet of aging tandem bikes so they can safely support the mental and physical health of the vision loss community for years to come.
EyeRide isn’t just about raising funds. It creates opportunities and breaks barriers for the vision loss community.
Please join us in supporting this amazing cause. Every donation, no matter the size, helps create a world where everyone can thrive.
Thank you for your generosity!
